Thanks for joining us in this session focused on simple and practical ways to support your brain health. We hope you found the tips helpful and encouraging as you continue on your wellness journey.

Key Takeaways and Next Steps

Eat for a Healthy Brain

Follow the MIND diet, which blends the Mediterranean and DASH diets. Focus on green leafy vegetables, berries, nuts, olive oil, whole grains, beans, and fatty fish like salmon or sardines. Limit red meat, fried foods, cheese, and sweets.

Stay Physically Active

Regular movement supports memory, mood, and brain function. Whether it's walking, swimming, or dancing, choose something you enjoy and can maintain. Talk to your doctor or a physical therapist if you're unsure where to start.

Keep Your Mind Engaged

Challenge your brain with puzzles, card games, reading, learning new skills or languages, playing or listening to music, or teaching someone else. Even changing your driving route or taking a dance class can stimulate brain activity.

Stay Socially Connected

Social engagement helps reduce the risk of dementia, depression, and anxiety. Join a book club, take a community class, attend local events, or simply wave to neighbors. Meaningful connections support emotional and brain health.

Make a Brain Health Plan

Create a simple daily routine that includes physical activity, healthy meals, mental exercises, and time to connect with others. Writing it down or using a whiteboard can help you stay consistent and focused.
